Book Description
Single twentysomething seeks Prince Charming. Those without royal castles need not apply. Inspired by a famous talk show host to "live her best life," out-of-work tech writer Katy Orville flies off to London to find the man of her dreams. But in order to catch a prince, she has to shed her all-American girl image and transform herself into a hip, fashionable heiress. Can she really pull it off? Will she? At a society wedding, it seems like a dream come true when a handsome man in a formal kilt begins a hot pursuit, clearly smitten with Katy. Unfortunately, Will Eland is more interested in rebuilding some old estate in the countryside than in partying with the aristos -- how can she be attracted to Mr. Handyman when she's looking for a nobleman? But appearances can be deceiving, as Katy well knows. Sometimes a prince is disguised as a pauper -- and sometimes an ordinary bloke is really a duke. And she hopes that playing make-believe hasn't ruined her chance for happily ever after....

The second book in the Sisters Ever After series of fairy tale retellings from the point of view of the siblings in the background, this is the thrilling story of Cinderella's never-before-mentioned third "evil" step-sister, Tirza. Meet Cinderella’s third “wicked” stepsister, Tirza. For years, Tirza has lived with the shame of what her family did to Cinderella. Against everyone’s advice, Cinderella—now Queen Ella—took a chance on young Tirza. She gave Tirza a home in the castle instead of banishing her. The queen told everyone Tirza was good and kind, not cruel like her older sisters. But now Queen Ella’s famous glass slippers are missing, and there’s only one suspect. . . . Tirza may have tried them on . . . but she didn’t steal them. Now she must find the true thief before she loses her royal home. But as Tirza gets closer to the truth, she finds herself getting closer to something else: her sisters, who might not be quite as evil as Cinderella claims.

Break The Glass Slipper

Pages : 145
Book Description
In this paradigm-shifting dating guide, love and dating expert, Crista Beck shows us how to stop Hollywood and Disney from ruining our love lives so we can find love in real life. For decades, we’ve been told that love just magically happens when we least expect it. “How’s love going to happen for you if you’re just sitting on the couch watching Netflix?”, Crista Beck says. “Let’s be honest, love is not happening for you because you believe the societal fantasies about dating and relationships.” Beck doesn’t sugar coat the reasons why we are still single. She tells it like it is - a strong dose of raw and honest truth that is sorely lacking today. Break The Glass Slipper is her antidote to the myths about the process of dating that have infected modern society and the minds of single women, sabotaging our ability to attract a healthy and happy long-term relationship. Beck makes the argument, backed by her 10+ years working with single women seeking men, that improving our love lives hinges on our ability to let go of these outdated mindsets that are preventing us from receiving our future partner into our life. Once we distinguish the fairy tales we have been telling ourselves about love, we can then choose a new path (based on reality), and find a real connection with a quality man that can evolve into a long-term relationship. This much-needed dating advice, Break The Glass Slipper is a refreshing and powerful nudge for a generation to break our own glass slippers and lead healthy and powerful love lives.
